In 1860, the roiling conflict over slavery swept the United States into a war between diehard factions. Several states in the South declared they were no longer part of the Union. On April 12, 1861, Confederate partisans attacked the small Federal force holding Fort Sumter in South Carolina’s Charleston harbor. Newly elected President Lincoln raised an army to put down the rebellion. Many veteran officers rose up on both sides to lead the ensuing fight. The burden of the war fell on ordinary Americans.

The conquest of Native America is usually told as two thefts, the theft of the land and the killing of the people. Beyond the Burial Tree adds a third, harder to see because it left no acreage and no body count: the seizure of a people's authority over its own dead. The right to decide how the dead are mourned, where they rest, and whether they remain present to the living was carried off along with the ground and the lives, and that taking is the subject of this book. David Boles tells it through the people whose river raised him.

In the British Museum's Mesopotamian galleries, behind glass, sits a clay mask approximately three thousand eight hundred years old. The face was made to terrify. Hooded sockets sink the eyes into darkness, intestinal coils wrap the brow, and a chipped tooth grins from the left side of the mouth. The mask was paid for. Somebody walked silver from a temple administrator's hand to a workshop, where an artisan converted clay and several days of labor into a working monster, and the figure left the workshop on a delivery cart for a fee. The specific contract has not survived.
